Hey guys, I'm gonna copy and paste the following and post it in mulitiple sections throughout this board for more exposure, so if you happen to be reading this again I promise I am not spamming.
I have a few goals, but intentions too.
My goal is to have purchasing power, to take advantage of promotional offers with stores, and a home for my family. I intend on addressing each debt, but I'd like to see the difference between settling and paying in full looks to the lendor/bank. Also, I would enjoy hearing ANY tips on how to cut corners. For example, if I can settle can I settle to delete? Would a secured credit card be any good or should I Just focus on the debt for now.
I did hear about being added to a family memebers credit line as an additional user, any info on that? here is my report and what I'm looking at. I work part time and go to schoo full time to be a nurse.
Total income needed to keep bills paid is 1100. I'm willing to pay up to $250 a month towards debts.

The distinction between settling for less and paying in full is usually very significant in any review of a consumer's credit report.
Settling for less means the creditor took a loss in dealing with the consumer.
If the consumer pursues a pattern of seeking settlement of their debts, then dealing with that consumer has an increased risk of loss.
Creditors are in the business of making money, not lending and taking a loss via settlements.
Paying a delinquent account in full means the consumer ultimately paid the debt they incurred.
